The large comfortable room, really more like a junior suite, was nice. Breakfast was not. Very few items and coffee was mediocre at best.

Very good value. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Not a lot of extra luxuries, but we weren’t expecting that for the price. We just needed a clean, comfortable place to sleep and this was perfect!

Overall the hotel was great, however the barking dog that was beside our room for 2 hours was awful. The dog barked from 10pm-until after midnight. If someone has a dog they should not be able to leave it alone in the room.
